If tr person who submitted it saw my comment, please don't take it as me making fun of your work but this is one of a handful of sites that requires a minimum understanding for permissions so when in doubt, remember most websites are shared data and not just for the individual...and one can ALWAYS review the criteria for any activity that requires a permission level. Not to mention if you have a question or aren't sure- come to a forum where nearly everyone is very polite and more than generous with their time, assistance and advice as most members want to see each other succeed and contribute.
That said... holy # yes- those are ridiculous- and I feel justified with my simple retort about using a cell phone for everything after I was "corrected" that a cell phone upload is against the rules ' they were so excited to put me down they didn't look at the context or my past scans / data) PLUS the site won't allow an upload that isn't one of the set image types (e.g. ".jpeg") so if I took a picture and tried submitting it would be rejected anyway.
This is an odd transition but with my genealogy and pre-Victorian era medical transcriptions I find so many people repeatedly upload profiles (called a GEDCOM for family trees) without following the one basic request that you check to see if said person already has a profile. It is somehow an entitled thing that certain people believe they should get their own pages on sites designed "to unite everyone to one common (giant) tree" - when there are plenty of options like Ancestry.com where you can make up all the nonsense you want without effecting or affecting other people's work.
I guess it sounds like a rant but I swear it is a parallel (no pun intended) to this thread where I think people want points (those sites have something similar) and they somehow really don't care what others think or feel... maybe it's because they hdie behind a screen? - and only speaking about the repeat offenders with warnings etc like the recent photos from the cellphone card apps (I use them but am not naming them in case it gives any bad ideas).
- I bet there are others who are on them and since I'm always trading and giving away the higher cards to finish base sets (I don't put actual money in it or I would)...maybe I could start a thread for app and user names if anyone is interested... if so send me a message in case I forget and if not then just kidding- I don't use them either ;)
